Top 5 Monday!

    Happy Monday, friends! I’m gonna mix up my top 5 post and do top 5 toxic things I was told growing up by people who didn’t deserve my time or energy! 


1. You’d be so much prettier if you just lost some weight. 


Adult response: and you’d be more attractive if you’d just shut your goddamn mouth; we’re all suffering here. 


2. You can’t like that, that’s for boys. 


Adult response: that’s cute that you think so, but I like it and that’s all that matters. 🖕🏼 


3. That’s not ladylike! 


Adult response: well, I AM a lady and i’m comfortable doing said thing and quite happy too. 🤷🏻‍♀️


4. "Stand up for yourself" Unless your opinion differs from the adults in your life. 


Adult response: Nah, boo, I think I'll just stand up for myself, now. Thanks for your input though! 


5. You should just eat healthy and smaller portions...it's not that hard to lose weight. 


Adult response: Are you in my kitchen with me every night cooking healthy meals? Do you SEE what I put in my mouth every second of the day? No? Do you pay for my groceries? NO? WELL THEN SHUT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK UP, YOU FUCKWAD. 


    Okay! now that I have those out, I'm more than happy to give just about anyone my adult responses now! I am a lot stronger now than I ever was before. If someone were to say those things to me now, I think that the version of me now, would greet their face with my fist. 


Graciously.  




XOXO

Cookie Era!

  Listen, I’m in my cookie era! Here’s what I did! I made a double batch, scooped them and placed them on parchment paper to keep them separated. Placed them in freezer bags and then froze the second batch. That way I have chemical free cookies ready to take out of the freezer whenever I want and bake fresh! This way I can bake 2 if I want instead of making up a whole batch.

My Manic...

Image
     I have been stressing myself out lately about perfection. I can’t share anything I do unless I know it’s perfect. It’s probably going to give me an ulcer.       I decided today that I didn’t need perfection.      It’s not about that. I mean I’ve always known that but I am so unbelievably hard on myself that I allowed those feelings to creep in and attack my inner peace!        I haven’t felt that manic in about a year! So it was definitely something that I had to take care of right away! I almost forgot that my manic was an emotional response to stress.          I was being unappreciative of my own strengths, too hard on my personal weaknesses and turning a blind eye to my mental state.       I called it quits yesterday and decided to do absolutely nothing all day to let my brain rest and recover from my own abuse. Until inspiration hit and I decided to DOODLE.  ...

Ditch Kitty!

Image
  It’s been awhile since I’ve had an update on my little rescued ditch kitty! Sirius is thriving! he came to me at 1.5 pounds soaking wet and he’s up to 7.5 pounds now! Which is perfectly in line for his age! He’s all up to date on his vaccinations and he doesn’t have to go back for another year! (Unless he needs to!) His personality can only be described as wildly unpredictable and entertaining! His favorite things are wet food, cucumbers and pull tabs from my almond milk and playing nonstop!
